What is Dental Bone Grafting?

Dental bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds bone material to the jaw to rebuild lost bone volume—creating a solid foundation for dental implants in patients who have insufficient bone due to tooth loss, gum disease, or natural resorption.

What to Know Before You Go

💡

Pro Tip:

Combine your bone grafting appointment with comprehensive implant planning. Many Turkish clinics offer packages that include grafting, healing time follow-up, and eventual implant placement at significant savings.

⚠️

Insider Note:

Healing time is crucial — don't rush to implant placement. Most grafts need 3–6 months to fully integrate with your natural bone. Clinics promising faster timelines may compromise long-term implant success rates.
